Dear Drugs-Forum readers: We are a small non-profit that runs one of the most read drug information & addiction help websites in the world. We serve over 4 million readers per month, and have costs like all popular websites: servers, hosting, licenses and software. To protect our independence we do not run ads. We take no government funds. We run on donations which average $25. If everyone reading this would donate $5 then this fund raiser would be done in an hour. If Drugs-Forum is useful to you, take one minute to keep it online another year by donating whatever you can today. Donations are currently not sufficient to pay our bills and keep the site up. Your help is most welcome. Thank you.

Gov. John Lynch vetoed legislation that would have made New Hampshire the 14th state to legalize marijuana use by severely ill people, citing concerns over distribution and cultivation. Lawmakers had made extensive changes to the bill in hopes of winning over Mr. Lynch, who had been critical from the start. But the governor, a Democrat, said the bill still had too many defects. “I understand and empathize with the advocates for allowing medical marijuana use in New Hampshire,” he said. “However, the fact remains that marijuana use for any purpose remains illegal under federal law.” The bill’s sponsor, Representative Evalyn S. Merrick, a Democrat, said she would push for an override

----------------------------------------SwiM is a little peeved about this one because Governor John Lynch states his reasoning behind the veto was that 'marijuana is still illegal under federal law.' Well, technically marijuana use is legal under federal law for medicinal purposes IF it is decriminalized by that state. This means his argument has no ground.

SwiM had his goat write an email to the guy explaining his position on this and urging him to reconsider his logic.
